Welcome to the Disney Blog Hop! If this is the first your first Disney Blog Hop, welcome! If you are a returning blogger, I’m really glad you are back. Today’s theme is “special smiles with the characters.”
My favorite part of visiting Disney Parks are the looks on children’s faces when they see the characters. There is nothing that melts my heart more than a child’s squeal of delight at seeing their favorite on-screen pal live, in-person. Here are some of my favorites of my boys that have brought tears to my eyes.

| Family shot at Mickey’s House. Connor is in love with Mickey. Just prior to this lovely moment, Connor was in complete, stage 4 meltdown mode…on the floor. I carried him into Mickey’s set like a load of bricks. Connor’s fit ended the very instant he laid eyes on Mickey. My exhausted toddler started right back up the second we left. 2012 |

Now on to the Disney Blog Hop!

The Disney Blog Hop is a great opportunity to network with other Disney bloggers and reach new readers. The blog hop is intended for all bloggers who blog about any aspect of Disney. Bloggers who do not blog exclusively about Disney should link to their Disney-tagged posts.
• Enter your blog below.
• Check out the other blogs and follow them through Google Friend Connect, on Facebook, etc. Just let ’em know you checked them out and like what they are doing. We all like to know we have new readers. I see you do it on other blogs, so make sure you let me know too!

• Welcome new readers to your blog! Each week we do something a little bit different. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WEEKLY THEME/POST TO PARTICIPATE. Next week’s theme is “Disney Bucket List.” Write about the Disney things you dream about doing/experiencing.
• Also optional, please consider posting the Disney Blog Hop button on your blog or web site so that we can spread the word. It would also be great if you wouldn’t mind tweeting about the blog hop so that more Disney blogs with participate. The more bloggers who find out about the hop, the more new readers you’ll have linking over to read all about you.

Thanks for hosting the blog hop! I think I’m with Connor – I’d throw a fit if I had to wait in that long of a line to meet my favorite person too 🙂
Score one for Mickey – the ultimate meltdown solver (wonder if he’d move in with us?)
We have not been to Disneyland yet, but my daughter absolutely loves that Peter Pan!!! She watches Youtubes of him all the time! WDW’s is good, but DL’s is so IN character.
Great pics! I love all the Mickey pics – but I love DLR’s Peter Pan! He’s the perfect character. Hope he’s still there when I finally get out there!
I’m with you, Tricia! Mickey living with us would solve a lot of problems.
